Hi, I wonder if anyone can confirm if they've been able to successfully transfer xattrs with rsync to a Solaris (based) system (in this case Nexenta Core 3). I managed to get rsync to build with xattr support on Nexenta by using 3.0.10dev, and running rsync --version shows that it's included. However if I try to rsync files from a Mac OS X (10.6) system to the Nexenta system (or vice versa) none of the xattrs are transferred although I don't get any errors back.
The command I'm trying is basically: /usr/local/bin/rsync -azvu --xattrs --delete --protect-args --rsync-path="/usr/local/bin/rsync" u...@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Users/user/test /tank/dedup/ The xattrs on the files I'm transferring are successfully retained if I transfer them using CIFS, so it's nothing related to the filesystem at the other side. Is it just a case that the Solaris xattr support isn't complete/working, or has anyone been able to get it running? I've found the following bug, but 3.0.10dev does at least think it's got Solaris xattr support. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6633 Thanks for any help.
